Dan's Stargate Bit!

Okay, time for a bit of character introduction...

Okalies, this is Colonel Jack O'Neill. He's head of SG-1 itself, so that means he can get away with being a grumpy, old fart most of the time (well, he is - grumpy that is!). Apart from that he's a pretty nice bloke, if you can forgive the fact that he loves ice hockey and would never miss a game if he could swing it : ). Now, Jack's been through a lot of s*** in his time: his son managed to shoot himself with Jack's own gun, his wife left him while he was away on Abydos for the first time, he's been aged ('Brief Candle' - he reminded me of Willy Nelson), speared ('Message in a Bottle'), cloned ('Tin Man'), made into a Jaffa ('Hathor'), made into a Goa'uld ('Into the Fire'), been stuck in Teal'c's and Daniel's bodies ('Holiday'), been endowed with the knowledge of the Ancients ('The Fifth Race'), nearly been sucked into a black hole ('Matter of Time') and generally been beaten up, nearly drowned, shot at, zapped with various types of laser weaponry and killed. And most of us whinge about stubbing our toes... : ) Now, according to fandom, he's been romantically linked with every member of SG-1 - as well as some of the people from the SGC too! I myself think he's positively suited for everyone's favourite Anthropuppy, Daniel, but I somehow doubt the writers are going to oblige me. He'll likely have better luck with Sam methinks. BTW, of the four members of the team, it's by far easier to get individual shots of Jack than it is anybody else - but I'll save the real bitching session for Teal'c's bit... So help me, if I wake up and I'm singing soprano... -- "Seth"

Jack Top Tens! - Yeah, I get bored easily...

Peekaboo, I see you!!

Hehe, sorry couldn't resist... Anyways, this lovely person is the main reason I started watching SG-1 - no, it wasn't the great storylines or spectacular visual effects, it was the fact that I spotted this gorgeous hunk of a man. However, rest assured - he's not the only reason why I keep watching, now there's Jack and Teal'c and Martouf... : ) Anyways, Dr Daniel Jackson is SG-1's resident expert on anything old - really old. Although they've been yet to state exactly what he's got degrees in, we all assume that he's at least got PhDs in anthropology, archaeology and linguistics. His chosen field of expertise is all things Ancient Egypt, although he does know enough about other oldie cultures to get by. In addition to all of this, he can speak roughly 23 different languages - according to him. We can't figure out if he's including different dialects and whatever in that number. Now, the one thing you'll notice about Daniel after watching SG-1 for a time is that he is mildly accident prone... Okay, he's extremely accident prone - with regard to him and having the snot belted out of him, it's a case of 'been there, done that, and brought the T-shirt to prove it'. Poor guy, but I guess every action-orientated show has to have at least one character that can be picked on - and being the pacifist of the group he was a shoo-in for the job. For pity's sake, his wife Sha're was kidnapped in the pilot ep - and ever since he's come back to Earth (in a very literal sense) he's been beaten, whacked, smashed, biffed, pounded, whumped, kicked, jumped on, smacked around, slapped, thrown into walls (at least, I think that's happened to him)... Amongst other things. Oh yeah, and let's not forget the Sarcophagus addiction he had to contend with in 'Need'. But, this rather disturbing inclination he's got for getting himself hurt only seems to make him all the more attractive to the fans. I think we're all sadists at heart.
: ) OK, well I think we've all heard the Reader's Digest version of the story but there's more to it, isn't there? -- "Cor-ai"

Daniel Top Tens! - Okay, make that really bored!

Meet Captain/Doctor/whatever Samantha Carter. Well, actually, she's a Major now in some countries. Anyhoo, she's the local astrophysics expert, as well as Action Man wannabe. Don't take offense, but she is (or at least, was) a horrible tomboy! Geez, even the rest of SG-1 seem to forget she's female on occasion - remember their reaction to seeing her in a dress in the ep 'Emancipation'? Actually, I rewound that bit quite a few times just so I could see the look on the guys' faces... : ) And then there was the time in 'Out of Mind' where Jack didn't seem to know where to look - it was kinda like 'Okay, I'll just glance at the wall, or maybe I'll just have a look at Sam since she's naked and all; now, back to the wall; then Sam's face; okay, wall again..." Of the team, Sam is the second-most un-accident-prone, which is quite an accomplishment with this lot. It seems they're being beaten up nearly every second week! Whoops, gotta get back on topic. My favourite pet peeve about Sam is the fact that the writers have endowed her with knowledge of every science under the sun (except archaeology, that'd be encroaching on Daniel's turf). I'm sorry people, but an astrophysicist wouldn't know the first thing about biochemistry! Please, just because you have to have a token wiseacre, make it someone we don't have to see too often - this is just annoying! Now, there are those out there who think that Sam is the only one for Jack (as if!!) and that seems to be the way the writers are drifting - but those of the JackDaniels mailing list know better.
: ) "We are identical. Right down to the mole on our..." "Hey, hey, hey, shut up!" (Sam and her clone) -- 'Tin Man'

Well, this is Teal'c, the fourth member of SG-1. Don't worry about the fact that he looks like he's lost his best friend - he always looks like that. Apparently that's what they strong, silent types look like. Go figure. Oh, and that thing on his forehead is a tattoo (of sorts) to say that he's a Jaffa under the rule of the system lord Apophis - at least, he was under the rule of Apophis. That was dealt with in the pilot ep 'Children of the Gods' when he helped SG-1 escape from Chulak, the Jaffa homeworld. What? You wan't to know what a Jaffa is? Well for starters, it's not a type of crunchy, orange-coated chocolate ball - or a type of biscuit for that matter. It's actually pronounced Jufaah (don't you love phonetic spelling?), and the word is Goa'uld for something along the lines of 'guard'. And that's what Jaffa do - guard the Goa'uld system lords. That, and serve as walking incubators for the Goa'uld larvae (which they keep in a pouch in their abdomen - yeah, I know it's gross). Not too difficult, now is it. Now, while Teal'c was still serving Apophis, he was responsible for selecting Daniel's wife to be the host for ol' snakehead's mate, Amonet (or Amaunet if you want to follow the name of the Egyptian goddess). But for some reason, the writers haven't included a scene where Daniel tears strips off the big guy for it - but I do believe there may be one or two missing scene fics at Heliopolis about it, and there's one here now too! Since he's been a part of SG-1, Teal'c has become record holder for 'the member to be injured the least number of times. Which, with this lot, that is something of an achievement-and-a-half. So's getting a picture of him on his lonesome - why, o why can't he be a poser like Jack??? In my culture, I would be well within my rights to dismember you -- 'Touchstone'
